The emperor said this, meaning that the case was temporarily kept and not released, which was in line with Xiao Jing's psychological expectations. He quickly bowed and stepped down, but even Jiang Bin didn't care about anything reported in front of the emperor.

...

It took two days before Zhu Houzhao called Xiao Jing to come and asked for his resignation.

"...My second uncle, who is incompetent, asked him to go to Yansui to work hard for several years, starting with ordinary soldiers, without any preferential treatment, and must eat and sleep with the soldiers guarding the frontier. As for his uncle, it is really cheap to keep him in prison in the capital, so he might as well transfer him to three sides, but giving him a small official to make him suffer a little, so he knows that it is difficult to defend the territory of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise he would want to fill his pockets every day..."

Zhu Houzhao changed the punishment mentioned by the Ministry of Justice, which was more like making his own decisions, allowing all the Zhang brothers to work in Yansui.

Xiao Jing said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager sent someone to send a letter. I just arrived today. Are you..."

Zhu Houzhao said with a back sleeve: "My mother just wants to plead for her two younger brothers, but now it is the result of the three departments' trial. Why should she plead for mercy? When she was making trouble in the Ministry of Justice, did she think about the laws of the Ming Dynasty?"

When the emperor said this, Xiao Jing was careful. At this time, he realized that Zhu Houzhao knew very well what happened in the capital, and even knew the trial process of the Ministry of Justice that day.

Xiao Jing thought to himself: "I haven't heard of Shen Zhihou's memorial. Did he put a secret letter? Did Shen Zhihou complain? Or was he pleading for the two brothers of the Zhang family? Or could he stand in a neutral perspective?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "Transfer my imperial edict to the capital earlier, take my two incompetent uncles to Yansui, and then pass on my imperial edict to Hu Lian, the general manager of the trilateral, and let him supervise and execute it. If anyone dares to help secretly, I will attack them!"

"Yes, your Majesty!"

Xiao Jing looked horrified.

...

...

Zhu Houzhao's imperial edict was passed to the capital, but no one was surprised.

Many people think that letting the Zhang brothers be exiled to serve as soldiers on three sides is not a bad choice, and it can even be said to be the best way to punish the Zhang brothers at present.

The officials in the capital were angry at the Zhang brothers for committing evil deeds, but if the emperor really wanted to kill the two, they would submit a letter to protect them, because this was a problem with the legal system of the Ming Dynasty. The status of the Zhang brothers was not comparable to those of hereditary nobles. The Zhang brothers were supported by the empress dowager. No matter how much the emperor hated the two uncles, as long as the two uncles did not make real rebellious actions, they would have a moral advantage and force the old ministers to excuse them.

The death sentence is not convicted now, which means that those old ministers don’t have to come out to protect the two brothers, which is also a good thing for the powerful people in the capital.

But this result obviously did not satisfy Empress Dowager Zhang.

"If you guard the border, you must be a soldier, and you must eat and sleep with the soldiers? Can't you give me a thousand households?" Empress Dowager Zhang got angry with Li Xing who came to spread the news.

Li Xing explained: "The Empress's Profile, this is the content of Your Majesty's Imperial Imperial. He also said that if someone is inclined to help, he will be sentenced to death for the two marquises!"
